    Has anyone backed Trench Crusade or are working on warbands?

    I got to say, the Iron Sultanate looks intriguing.

    i agree, both the game in general and the sultanate in particular are fascinating.
    A friend of mine went full into backing it, and he's planning to organize demonstrative battles and a mini-tournament (we are actually in the phase "let's prepare no less than 3 different battlefields").
    I look forward into it. :)

    Tabletop Minions do a review of this. Uncle Atom seems impressed.

    Eh, it's overflowing with adjectives. They could have done more with less words.

    The lack of a map annoys me.

    Everything being "vague" doesn't help.

    Never really liked Atom's presentation style, but I'll give it a listen.

    Sadly wasn't able to back it, as my funds are... Well, my wallet has more of a history of carrying mothballs than it does actual monetary value.

    But I did look at it and think things. Many things. All ending with "if I only had actual financial value to my name".

    I'll give the lore primer a read later.

    I wasn't aware that it was 700 Ducats and zero Glory. So I'm going to have to remove my glory items. Oops.
